Rövid leírás:
Examines the impact and legacy of Bloomsbury Group artist Vanessa Bell through her home-turned-museum, Charleston, offering original insights into the artist, the house, and queer maternal creativity
TöbbHosszú leírás:
Vanessa Bell's art and life were animated by the complex emotions of motherhood: creativity and care bound up with doubt, desire and ambivalence. This is the first book to focus exclusively on the influence of motherhood in Bell's art, exploring how it shaped her creative vision and its lasting legacy at Charleston, her country home.
In 1916 Bell moved with her young children and the painter Duncan Grant to Charleston, a remote farmhouse in the Sussex Downs that became a home for art, intimacy and experiment. There she lived until her death in 1961, creating a world where the boundaries between painting and living dissolved, and where care and collaboration lay at the heart of artistic life.
Moving beyond familiar Bloomsbury biography, Vanessa Bell and Charleston offers a strikingly intimate portrait of Bell at work and at home, and how her art transformed the texture of everyday life. In a feminist and queer reappraisal of Bloomsbury, Jon King unearths Bell's experience of motherhood, and the ways in which her artistic vision unsettled the boundaries between mother and child. The book traces the emotional afterlife of this vision through four generations of women: from Bell's mother, Julia Stephen, to the photographic legacy of her great-aunt Julia Margaret Cameron, and onward to her daughter, the writer and artist Angelica Garnett. Through these intertwined lives, it explores how motherhood was inherited, contested and reimagined across time.
Richly illustrated, it brings together paintings, photographs and objects of the home, from Bell's decorated rooms and family album to the camp Famous Women dinner service of 1932, to show how the domestic imagination, in its maternal, queer and collaborative forms, reverberates through the story of both Bloomsbury and British modernism more broadly.
